Salamat natal

Christmas in Rureng is (obviously) a lil different to Christmas in the UK, and in many ways for the better. Preparations didn’t really start until about a week ago & despite the odd decoration it is far less obvious & much less commercialised. I can't help thinking that maybe it would be nice if England took a leaf out of this book, even if for just one year… Although it would be nice to be back with my family & friends at this time of year I don’t miss all the hype, over-expectations & materialism of Christmas at home.

However Zoe & I did try to recreate a little English Christmas spirit by getting rather drunk & having a party on Christmas Eve. Our guests were a mop & a broom and we (sexily) danced away with them all night! Today we are having a relaxed day, we have rented half a dozen DVDs, bought some rather expensive Cadburys chocolate and plan to make pizza for our Christmas lunch. Then this evening, we may just meet up again with our good friends, the mop & the broom.

Me, Zoe, the mop & the broom
